To go or not to go?
That is not a question.
If someone invites you, you keep the appointment.
Especially when the meeting ce is a public ce like a library.
Link was quite curious about what tricks Mina Havcheck had up her sleeve this time.
But that was a matter for noon, so he wouldn’t bother with it for now. He signaled to Jasmine not to be distracted and to focus on her reading. Link too took out his notes and pondered about the possibility of “Double Casting” or even “Multiple Casting”.
This was the real business, everything else was irrelevant.
Compared to Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft, without a doubt, the difficulty of executing “Double Casting” or “Multiple Casting” was significantly lower.
The former is a matter of existence, a breakthrough from o to 1; thetter is a matter of quantity, a growth from 1 to too.
The tricky part is mastering the timing.
You need to precisely nestle the spells, they can’t be a smidgen faster or slower.
(1 smidgen = 0.864 seconds, 1 instant = 0.0864 seconds)
A slightly faster or slower pace wouldn’t result in “Double Casting or Multiple Casting”, but would turn into “Parallel Casting .
That is to say, one water shield would be nestled in another to strengthen the defense, making two water shields appear simultaneously, fighting side by side.
Link currently had two n options:
n one, to cast two Water Shield Spells using the form of Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft;
n two, to initially construct a normal Water Shield Spell magic blueprint and then while casting the spell, simultaneously use the form of Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft to link the two consecutive Water Shield Spells.
If the first n could be realized, it would undoubtedly be more convenient
and efficient.
However, it involved great difficulty and was prone to mistakes. The second n was a bit more cumbersome, but easier to realize.
Once one bes adept at the n, it would be not inconvenient at all. After thinking it over, Link decided to give the second n a try first. At the moment, neither was it a good time nor a good ce. Link could only suppress his thoughts, waiting to practice back in the dormitory at night.
The morning sses ended smoothly.
Under many a strange gaze, Link and Jasmine ufortably enjoyed their lunch at the cafeteria.
All along the way, during meals, more and more people were covertly looking at them, Jasmine had long stopped the act of ring back.
Mainly because if one red too many times, the eyes got sore. Seeing Link, who seemed to ignore everything, Jasmine simply treated those people like air and ignored them.
If the persons at the heart of the public controversy could remain calm, then why couldn’t she?
Keep calm, keep calm!
ng-
Jasmine tossed the meal tray onto the recycling tform, which was much more violent than usual.
The trays and utensils jumped and scattered.
Link neatly rearranged the trays and utensils a bit, then walked out of the cafe.
The library.
Mina Havcheck had been waiting in the lobby for quite some time.
Upon seeing Link and Jasmine approaching, she signaled them to go to the second floor corridor.
There, there were seats for resting and chatting.
“The rumors on those ‘forums’ were not spread by me.”
As soon as three of them took their seats, Mina Havcheck got straight to the point and rified one thing,”Including the part about Rivers and Erick.” She is in a hurry!
“And then?”
Link was expressionless, not surprised in the least.
“I was worried that you might me me for these, so, I thought I should exin it to you.”
Mina Havcheck continued, her face slightly awkward.
Without a doubt, her words revealed her fear.
They exposed her trepidation, her fear even, of Link.
“Hmm.”
Link slightly nodded, sparing his words like gold, his demeanor aloof. After all, it was Mina Havcheck who had extended the invitation. The one who was in a rush to exin and deny any involvement was Mina Havcheck, not him, Link Grande.
The advantage is mine!
Mina Havcheck saw that Link wasn’t paying attention, Jasmine Kidman on one side had kept a straight face since they had met, unwilling to speak more than necessary,
She knew that unless some significant information was disclosed this time, achieving her aim would be impossible.
She bit her lip, her face showing a hint of difficulty, before deciding to speak: “Erick did indeed disclose some information rted to you guys while he was with me, but I honestly didn’t know he intended to kill you.”
“Really?”
Link sneered at the corner of his mouth, “You really didn’t know?” A severely injured person, someone who, ording to you, boasts about revenge during treatment, and you’re saying you didn’t know he intended to kill?
Are you fooling a three-year-old?
Do you really not know, or did you know but enjoyed seeing it unfold? No matter if Erick seeded or not, you could eliminate a significant threat, right?
Link sneered in his heart, continuing to apply pressure, to see if he could squeeze out any more information.
“Fine, I knew.”
Mina Havcheck had already prepared herself for this revtion, she simply confessed then exined,
“But what can that do? He threatened my life, what could I do? All I could do was send him away and then notify you.”
“Hmm.”
Link nodded his head again but chose not toment on this statement.
There really wasn’t much to say.
You can’t truly know someone’s heart, Link couldn’t determine what Mina Havcheck was thinking at that time.
But, the malice that he sensed previously was indeed real.
“I don’t expect you to forgive me.”
Having addressed this, Mina Havcheck seemed to rx a little. She leaned back against her chair, talking freely,
“I’ll provide some information concerning you guys, particrly you, Link Grande, to reconcile our differences.
From now on, I won’t target you guys.
You are also not allowed to take revenge on me!
“I have always loved peace.”
Link shrugged, ying neutral, “I never pick fights or hold grudges.” The real oue depends on how substantial your information is. Even without a prior promise, Mina Havcheck wasn’t annoyed and revealed, “Antoine Hilton, the president of the ‘New Blood Mutual Aid Association’, was the first to spread information about you on the ‘Forum.
“And after that?”
Link showed a slight interest.
He was indeed interested.
“Later another person stirred the pot, trying to distort your image and make you a public enemy.”
Mina Havcheck stopped here and didn’t say more.
Link knew what she was waiting for, and without continuing the bait, he clearly said, “From now on, let’s each go our own way. As long as you don’t mess with me, I will never target you.”
“Is it a deal?”
“It’s a deal!”
Upon hearing Link’sst words, Mina Havcheck’s heart finally rxed. She waspletely rxed now and didn’t need to put up a brave front anymore.
Without beating around the bush, she gave the explosive news:
“I found out that among your peers, there is a guy named Harold Andrews, who has been asking about you everywhere. He even went to the ck Market to buy a smart-device that allows anonymous contact.
ording to reliable information, the subjects of his anonymous contact were five people. These five people were the ones who made the rumours about you on the ‘Forum’ even more sensational.
Moreover, he also actively proposed to visit Rivers on behalf of Antoine Hilton.”
“Harold Andrews?”
Link knew this name, the first “brave one” to bite the bullet.
“Thank you.”
Having received the message he wanted, Link didn’t want to stay any longer and got up to leave.
Before leaving, he made a promise:
“Bygones are bygones!”
